The Seed Exchange

Feb 15 11 – 3pm  |  Davis Bay Community Hall

A grass-roots way to give and get seeds that grow food, medicine, and pollinator plants. There is no money exchanged… only seeds. Bring your dry, packaged seeds in labelled envelopes with seed name, variety, year harvested, quantity, and drop off to share with others, swap, or just bring a cash donation to pick up if you don’t have seed to exchange.

Hosted by One Straw Society & Sunshine Coast Seed Saving Collective

WORKSHOP @ 11:00 am The Soil Web with Many Microbes Soil Lab
KIDS ACTIVITIES across the street at Davis Bay Elementary’s Greenhouse

Seedy Saturday

April 5  11am – 3pm  |  Roberts Creek Hall
A community market event celebrating seeds, gardening, and sustainable agriculture. Across Canada, these gatherings feature seed swaps, workshops, markets, and opportunities to connect with others passionate about growing and biodiversity.
Our first local Seedy Saturday took place off the back of Robin Wheeler’s truck in a Sechelt parking lot in 1994. It sure has grown since then!
